Description

The indication
“Dose Eras will be derived from records in the DRUG_EXPOSURE table and the Dose information from the DRUG_STRENGTH table using a standardized algorithm.”
it is still present in the CDM documentation and is misleading for those looking for the algorithm, because there is no algorithm.
